At the end some dynamic models with feedback mechanisms are shown.

Based on her textbook “Economics After the Crisis: An Introduction to Economics from a Pluralist and Global Perspective” she suggests to focus on real-world problems and pari passu apply economic theories such as Social economics, Institutional economics, Post-Keynesian economics as well as Neoclassical economics without wasting time to single out the latter. Besides pointing out advantages of such a pluralist method Irene illustrates her approach based on interesting topics such as growth or feminist economics. 2016 Level: beginner Beyond stimulus versus Austerity: Pluralist capacity building in Macroeconomics Irene van Staveren IMK
